Pros

Backstop has a great culture, everyone is willing to help you. Managers help you to advance your career and they genuinely care about their employees well being. Backstop offers well defined work-life balance.

Cons

I don't know if this is a con but we need more people to achieve some of our goals.

We appreciate your wonderful feedback! It's true, our culture is second to none :) We have to give a shout out to our mentor/mentee program, learning budget, unlimited PTO and more that helps with building this collaborative culture! We've hired 45+ new hires this year and aren't looking to slow down these recruitment efforts either. We thank you again for your feedback!

Pros

Friendly people, casual atmosphere. Snacks, beer on Thursdays, good 401k match, decent benefits. Some smart people still around who can provide great guidance.

Cons

Investments have been made to improve this, but the software still isn't super up-to-date. The technologies you have to learn might not be relevant to other jobs where they have invested more in keeping things up to date. The hiring bar decreased over time. There are still a lot of smart people but you have to be careful about who you listen to and which team you are on.

Thank you for your feedback and acknowledgement that we have smart people. We’re also proud of our leading benefits and perks package, overall. Your comments about where we are investing and need to improve are fair and balanced. We often like to say we are an established start up – still in growth mode, yet with over fifteen years since Backstop was founded there are inevitably some areas of our platform that need work. It’s a little like owning a house that is in need of renovation in some areas while others have stood the test of time or have been improved through investment along the way. Our tech stack is evolving, and we are also investing heavily in our core platform and working with leading cloud technologies, frameworks, and architectures such as React, MongoDB, container-based microservices and real-time data pipelines, and machine learning services from AWS. As for hiring, the only aspect we’ve changed about our process over the years is to find people who are not just smart and a cultural fit, but who are also culturally additive and aligned with building great products for people who most want to buy them. Thank you for being a part of the Backstop journey and making it a part of your career growth.
